“Inspired by the laid-back Beat style, this vest updates a simple ’50s design with seamless modern construction, making this classic vest as easy to knit as it is to wear. The lightweight wool-blend yarn has a gentle halo and a subdued color progression that gives it an instant faded vintage look. The vest is cast on over waste yarn at center back. It’s knit flat, from the back up over the shoul- ders down to the center front where it’s shaped into a V. Then it’s all joined up in the round and knit straight down to the hem.”
